Word Style Book Word Style Book ABOUT THIS MANUAL The Word Style Book has been prepared in the Hansard Office to function in conjunction with the 10th edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary as the dictionary for that office, to be consulted in the preparation of the parliamentary debates for publication. It is a guide to how to treat words in the text of Hansard, and not a guide to precedents or setting up members’ names. The use of hyphens is being kept to a minimum, in line with COD practice as stated in the preface to the 10th edition. For guidance on how a word or expression is treated in Hansard, consult the Word Style Book before the COD. The treatment of words not covered in either reference text will need to be confirmed for inclusion in the Word Style Book updates, which are published regularly. USER GUIDE to the HANSARD WORD STYLE BOOK I ENTRIES IN WORD STYLE BOOK (WSB) accounts alphanumeric classifications animals chemicals and organic compounds cities, countries, geographical features, etc., if not in atlas or Wises compound words diseases drugs (generic) foreign words and phrases games indices Māori words (listed separately) measurements misused or misspelt words mottos and proverbs new words “non-words” that may be used (eg., bikkie) parliamentary terms and organisations, positions, etc. associated with Parliament plants qualifications religions statutory holidays taxes technical terms words that reflect a specifically NZ usage or spelling that differs from that in the COD II ENTRIES IN REFERENCE LIST airports, ports computer programs conventions, conferences court cases days, weeks, years with special names [NOT statutory holidays] events with titles (historical, political, or sporting) examinations forests, parks, reserves funds grants, benefits man-made structures, including buildings, roads, bridges marae organisations people plays, operas, films, videos, works of art poetry and songs publications schemes, programmes, projects, task forces, campaigns ships and aircraft slogans speeches television and radio programmes and stations/channels trademarks treaties website addresses February 2004 USING THE WSB ♦ ROUND BRACKETS denote explanation and/or rule: each (sing., takes a singular verb) ♦ SQUARE BRACKETS denote an instruction about what not to do: essential [NOT important essential] ♦ SEMICOLONS separate acceptable words and constructions: Imprest Supply Bill; imprest supply debate ♦ ABBREVIATIONS: (adj.) adjective (adv.) adverb (attrib.) when precedes the noun being described (n.) noun (pl.) plural (predic.) when follows the noun being described (sing.) singular (v.) verb ♦ SYMBOLS: # = Use the full version followed by the abbreviation in brackets the first time that the reference is mentioned in a speech, and use the abbreviation alone thereafter IVF = unacceptable abbreviation or word; use full name or replacement word(s) (1), (2), (3) = hyphen type (see next page) ♦ Entries without an explanation have the same form for all parts of speech: ill-thought-out February 2004 HYPHENS in the WSB Three categories of hyphen use have been flagged in the Word Style Book. These categories are: TYPE 1 for example: data matching (1) a) No hyphen for noun (unqualified) - data matching is necessary b) Hyphen for qualified noun - accurate data-matching c) Hyphen for adjective - data-matching process TYPE 2 for example: much needed (2); under the table (2); well founded (2) a) Hyphen if used immediately in front of the noun (that is, attributively) - a well-founded argument (BUT How well founded was his argument?) - under-the-table payment b) No hyphen if used after the noun that the phrase qualifies (that is, predicatively) - the argument is well founded - my pay rise was much needed TYPE 3 for example: back up (3) a) No hyphen for verb - we back up the data b) Hyphen for noun - a back-up was needed c) Hyphen for adjective - a back-up operation February 2004 Numbers The order of the entries follows that used in the Reference List.

  • Designed to Kill: Gun Control and the Dunblane and Columbine Massacres
    Designed to Kill: Gun Control and the Dunblane and Columbine Massacres Gwendolyn M. Martin Senior Thesis Political Science Advisor: Sidney Waldman 11 April, 2003 In Memory of Laura Wilcox and everyone whose dreams were cut short by gun violence. 2 Introduction On March 13, 1996, Thomas Hamilton opened fire in Dunblane Primary School’s gymnasium in Scotland, killing sixteen five- and six-year olds and their teacher as well as himself. Just over three years later, on April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot and killed fourteen students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado before taking their own lives. Each incident shocked the world and redefined each nation’s sense of safety as two suburban towns came to symbolize all that is dangerous in the world. The stories of the injured, dead, and emotionally scarred entered the national psyche (Homsher 2001: 232). Although not representative of gun violence nationally, these mass shootings defined the gun issue in the public’s mind. Consequently, they were defining moments in each country’s gun control debate. The actions taken as a consequence had the potential to redefine the national identity. Despite the similarities of the incidents, the effects were markedly different. In the United Kingdom (UK), lawmakers had put in place a ban on all private handgun ownership in homes within two years of the incident. In contrast, the Columbine shootings brought no significant changes in national gun laws, or even other types of violence-related legislation. The parallels between the Columbine and Dunblane shootings were undeniably strong.

HIM 1990-2015. 1872. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/honorstheses1990-2015/1872 THE INFLUENCE OF GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION ON RAMPAGE SHOOTINGS by ANDREW D. MANOR A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Legal Studies in the College of Health and Public Affairs and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2015 Thesis Chair: Dr. James Beckman Abstract The United States has experienced several mass shootings in the past few years. It has been averaging one shooting every week in 2015, and something must be done about it. This problem appears to be limited to the United States since several other nations have been able to minimize, and almost eliminate the number of mass shootings. By taking an analysis of the gun laws of the United States with those of Australia and Canada it can be concluded that some aspects of strict gun control can reduce the number of mass shootings.

  • Final Thesis Philip Carew
    Māori, Biculturalism and the Assemblies of God in New Zealand, 1970 - 2008 By Philip D. Carew A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare W ānanga O Te Ūpoko O Te Ika a M āui 2009 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the extent to which the New Zealand Assemblies of God, one of the largest and oldest Pentecostal denominations in the country, has fostered participation by M āori, and its success in doing so between 1970 and 2008. From the advent of the Mana M āori renaissance in the 1970s the idea of biculturalism became an important vehicle for M āori aspirations. As part of its broader agenda, the thesis also considers the church’s response to this bicultural emphasis. The Assemblies’ particular response is analysed in the light of experiences in the mainline denominations and the Apostolic and Destiny churches which either experienced considerable success in attracting M āori participation, or explicitly accommodated the call for a bicultural response using recognised bicultural models. The research is based on the published literature of the Assemblies of God and an extensive range of interviews. These provided detail on the motivations and underlying beliefs that have generated particular responses. The published literature of the other denominations has also been addressed for comparative purposes, along with a range of relevant secondary literature. The Assemblies of God’s flexible structure, clarity of teaching, fostering of indigenous leadership and emphasis on local church autonomy, has enabled it to grow rapidly throughout the world.
